Multiple Images May Increase Facebook Reach

With all the buzz amongst social media managers about Facebook reach being down and the ever-elusive task of trying to raise it, a little tip here and there is always appreciated.

The latest little tip that is going around is that by adding more than one photo to your Facebook media posts, such as this post below, Facebook reach will increase.




Social media managers are claiming that their reach is THREE times higher with multiple image posts.  That is huge.  Additionally, engagement numbers stay in line with the increased reach.

One caveat - some social media managers are saying that this doesn't work 100% of the time.  We think it's worth the effort to see if it will work, especially since it doesn't cost anything more than a minute or two of your time.  Good luck!

New Facebook Video Player - Simple Tool - Easy Way to Get Likes

New social media tools come along everyday in this business.  We are always keeping up with the latest tools and software-as-a-service platforms so that we can better serve our clients.  One very interesting tool that is in beta right now has caught our attention.




It's called Video Sk.in and it's a video player for Facebook that is so simple to use that it's ridiculous.  Simply load any video into the platform (it doesn't even have to be your own video), drop and drag an email fangate, a share gate, your logo and presto!  You are in business!  

Instead of paying Facebook to promote your page to get more likes, simply add a share gate to your viral video or fan gate.  The secret is in choosing a video you know will go viral.

This tool is in beta right now and they are offering it for $197 lifetime price right now as an agency license and in a few weeks they will be switching over to a monthly fee.  If you are interested in learning more, here.
